Ukraine's Zelenskyy announces cabinet reshuffle, PM to step down

On 12 July 2026, Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a government reshuffle in Ukraine that includes replacing Prime Minister Svyrydenko. Outlets differ in wording: some say Zelenskyy dismissed Svyrydenko after only a year in the job, others say she is stepping down or that he proposed a new prime minister. Kyiv Post reported that Svyrydenko is to receive a new role.

Bloomberg described the changes as a broader cabinet shake-up and ran a separate piece on how it puts Kyiv's winter resilience in focus. Italian outlets reported that Zelenskyy is preparing a new reshuffle, and Russian outlets covered the dismissal as well.
